HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 356 [356] Qi Yuan is shocked, is it really going to be a double ice romance?

Qi Yuan and Li Bingbing left by car.

A paparazzo emerged from the alley, looking at the photos he had just taken with great satisfaction.

……

The next day.

An article was published by a media outlet called The Daily News.

[A world-renowned music superstar met privately with world-famous kung fu superstar Jackie Chan, and the two chatted and laughed. When leaving, the music superstar and actor Li Bingbing were seen with their arms around each other's shoulders, behaving intimately, and the two appeared to be lovers.]

This revelation caused an uproar throughout the Chinese film industry, and also excited casual observers and onlookers.

Qi Yuan and Cheng Long meet at this crucial moment. Could it be that Qi Yuan is going to star in "Rush Hour 2"?
That black actor should have been replaced a long time ago. Wouldn't it have been much better to have Qi Yuan and Cheng Long play the two male leads? That's what netizens think.

When the conversation turned to Qi Yuan and Li Bingbing, the tone shifted again.

The TV series "Young Justice Bao" is currently airing and has been accused of plagiarizing the Japanese manga "The Tokyo Zodiac Murder Case" shortly after its premiere. Many analytical posts have appeared on forums.

Despite the controversy, no one can deny the show's success; it's one of the highest-rated dramas of the year.

As the female lead, Li Bingbing was unaffected by the plagiarism accusations, and she benefited from the controversy by becoming famous for her role as Ling Chuchu.

This major relationship scandal further boosted her popularity, making her even more famous.

"This is so hard to guess! Who is that world-famous music superstar? This question is too difficult, I can't do it, I really can't do it."

"My goddess Ling Chuchu got taken by Qi Yuan? Damn! Look at her in her twenties, and look at mine in my twenties, I haven't even held a girl's hand."

"Only new fans are making a fuss; we old fans are used to it. By the way, let me correct you: this is a field trip to find inspiration, you know?"

Male fans and casual observers were generally pleased, and many envied Qi Yuan's abundant romantic opportunities.

Some new female fans condemned Qi Yuan for being too fickle, especially the Qi-Fan CP fans, who felt that Qi Yuan's actions were unfair to Fan Xiaopang.

The older female fans were very calm, even somewhat unfazed. They're used to it, so what more do you want from them?

Some female fans simply choose not to believe the rumors.

Do you have any evidence? Just because you hugged doesn't mean you're dating? Isn't that nonsense? Show us photos of Qi Yuan and Li Bingbing sleeping in the same bed before you start talking.

This is the advantage of not having a pure and innocent image. After releasing her first album, Qi Yuan started having scandals. Her debut was like a wasteland with nowhere to collapse.

On the internet, a fierce battle broke out between Fan Xiaopang's fans and Li Bingbing's fans.

Fan Xiaopang's fans criticized Li Bingbing for being shameless and stealing someone else's boyfriend.

Li Bingbing's fans also called the other party's fans shameless, asking, "What boyfriend? Has he gone public? Has he admitted it? Even your idol Fan Xiaopang isn't worried, why are you bunch of eunuchs in such a hurry?"
at the same time.

Qi Yuan also saw the exposé and couldn't help but remark that the paparazzi had become smarter.

The article did not name him, but included several photos, including one of him chatting with Jackie Chan and another of him leaving with his arm around Li Bingbing.

The photographer was a master; he didn't show his face or profile.

You can't tell what world-famous music stars actually look like from photos.

But... do we even need to guess? A world-renowned Chinese music superstar is a man. Is there anyone else besides him?

One can only say that the author of this exposé used a clever method, guiding the reader to make connections.

Qi Yuan glanced at the reporter's signature at the end of the article: Zhuo Wei.

So that's who it was, the later king of paparazzi. No wonder.

It's just that Zhuo Wei is being a bit petty and judging others by his own standards.

Qi Yuan is suing the media that deliberately spreads rumors and smears him, while the media that reports the truth have never been sued, okay?

There are plenty of media outlets that have reported on Qi Yuan's scandals, but who has Qi Yuan sued?
...Fan Xiaopang's house.

After browsing a few posts, Fan Xiaopang was furious. That damned old woman was stealing her boyfriend? The younger sister was useless, so the older sister took over? How shameless.

……

Li Bingbing and Li Xue's residence.

Currently, the two sisters are renting an apartment to save money, as rent in Beijing is not cheap.

Aside from early advertisements, Li Bingbing only made some money from filming "Hua Wuque" and "Young Justice Bao," which was not enough to buy a house in Beijing.

Li Xue quickly walked from her room to the living room, glancing at her sister.

Feeling guilty, Li Bingbing said softly, "Xue'er, last night President Qi took me to meet Jackie Chan and the director. He recommended me to film 'Rush Hour 2'."

I got home late last night and saw that the stove in your room was off, so I thought I'd talk to you about it today.

My paycheck this time is US dollars, a total of 15. Once I get my paycheck, I'll buy an apartment in Beijing, and you can move in there first.

Li Xue's eyes were red.

Her sister has been so good to her; from childhood to adulthood, she always thinks of her sister first when there's something good.

Li Xue sat down next to Li Bingbing.

"Sis, you've misunderstood. I was just a little surprised. Actually, I've thought it through. I know I'm not good-looking enough, and I'm not a celebrity."

Mr. Qi only admires my intellect; he wouldn't even consider me as a person. Even if you and Mr. Qi really have something going on, I won't blame you.

"With us sisters working together, you'll be the top female executive in the company, and I'll be a senior manager. Let's see who can compete with us then!"

Li Bingbing gave his younger sister a deep look.

Has she finally figured it out? She had wanted to persuade her sister to give up for a long time. It had nothing to do with whether her sister wanted to do it or not; she just felt that her sister's chances were slim.

Look at all the women Qi Yuan has kissed in the music video: Gao Yuanyuan, Lin Zhiling, Fan Xiaopang, Zhang Tong, Chen Hong, and a whole bunch of others.

They're all prettier than Li Xue; it's a good thing they're facing reality sooner rather than later.

Li Bingbing was still a little suspicious that her sister was testing her, so she talked about some details from last night: "Actually, President Qi was protecting me by hugging me, for my brother's reputation..."

"Sister, stop talking, I've really given up. Right now, all I care about is work. I'm so indignant when I see that list of the 'Four Little Actresses.' I think you're just as good as them, so why can't you be like them?"

You should seize the opportunity that General Manager Qi helped you get, practice martial arts diligently, and study English well.

Your status and fame will definitely rise significantly after you acted in "Rush Hour 2" with Jackie Chan.

We want you to be among the "Four Little Actresses" of the next or the year after.

Li Xue held her sister's hand, her eyes filled with sincerity.

Li Bingbing probed again and found that Li Xue was serious.

Li Xue even said, "Qi Yuan's English is good, why don't you ask him for advice on learning English?"

We can't let that sly fox Fan Xiaopang get too arrogant.

After the success of "Bouquet", Fan Xiaopang was so arrogant that he was practically strutting around in front of Li Xue.

Fan Xiaopang is quite easygoing with the company staff, and occasionally buys them snacks and treats.

In Li Xue's view, this approach is a way of winning people's hearts, and she really thinks she's the boss lady of Starry Sky?

Li Bingbing really sent Qi Yuan a message, saying she wanted to treat Qi Yuan to dinner to thank her for helping her get the role.

Qi Yuan was stunned when she received the invitation. Had Li Bingbing come to her senses? Did she really want to unlock the Double Ice Romance?
